    She wants to know how to explain it to him what a rhyme scheme is.

    A rhyme scheme is the rhyming of the end words in every line of poetry. There are many different types of rhyme scheme...some most common are ABAB ABBA or ABCA. If you write a specific style of poetry, normally the rhyme scheme`s are given to you. For example the style CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme has a rhyme scheme given of AABBCCCABC. If you write free verse, there is no rhyme scheme. Or normal poetry, you make your own. You can use a lot of different sources for rhyming words, one common and useful one is the site www.rhymezone.com .

    A bit of a long explanation, but hopefully it helped. Basically, the first two sentences are all you need to explain it, the others are just support to help if you need. Good luck and I hope your brother does well. :]
